Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Foundation is to donate nearly £200,000 in grants 
to 23 UK Children’s Hospices and Hospitals across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern
Ireland from the money raised in last year’s fundraising event, Wallace & Gromit’s
Wrong Trousers Day.
The grants will be used to help fund a variety of projects from
new outdoor play and picnic areas, family accommodation, new state-of-the-art equipment
such as incubator, scanner and cameras, garden landscaping, playroom and activity
centres, arts projects, furniture and a specially commissioned mural.

Created in 2003 Wallace and Gromit’s Children’s Foundation raises funds to improve
the quality of life for children in 23 hospitals and hospices throughout the UK.

The Wrong Trousers Day event started in the South West where money raised contributed
to a £12 million fundraising appeal towards the cost of the new Bristol Children’s
Hospital.
